Hi Y'all!  Hey, do you know about the US Ski Team's Dartfish TV? Lots of great videos, including this series about boot selection, fitting, etc. You may have to cut and paste these links into your browser.

Coaches- I hope you are looking at this stuff for your racers and parents. Parents- please start with your kids' coach when thinking about boots. The coaches know their racers' skiing, and usually have some opinions about boots. Even if they are not comfortable on that subject, chances are they have a boot fitter referral or 2 they can give you.

And of course, you can always ask me too- although I may not give you a quick answer or recommend the cheapest solution.
See you on the hill!
